Gu Mang drove with a gloomy face, stepping on the gas like a madman.
Ye Chen felt like he was about to fly out the window several times. He truly experienced the centripetal and centrifugal forces he learned about in high school physics today!
With a sharp, sudden screech of brakes, the car came to a sudden stop in front of the police station.
Gu Mang strode into the police station, his heavy steps like those of a demon emerging from hell. Once inside, his cold gaze swept over everyone like a sharp knife, until finally a door opened slightly, and two policewomen led Jiang Can out.
"Can Can!" he couldn't help but shout.
Jiang Can looked up when she heard the sound.
The moment their eyes met, the tears she had held back for a day and a night finally streamed down her face. She threw herself into his arms, her small hands clutching his clothes tightly. Feeling his familiar and safe presence, the grievances in her heart suddenly choked up in her throat. She dared not cry out loud, but instead sobbed softly.
Gu Mang gently patted her back and whispered comforting words in her ear.
The little girl in his arms was shivering and shrinking. He gently smoothed her disheveled hair and saw her red and swollen eyes and pale face, and his heart ached.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Jiang Can felt relieved and nodded gently.
Ye Chen finished the formalities and walked over, about to speak, but was stopped by a look from Gu Mang. Ye Chen stuck out his tongue, stood helplessly to the side, watching the two reluctant to part, wanting to laugh but not daring to, and finally coughed twice.
Jiang Can snapped out of her daze, separated from Gu Mang, and turned to look at him.
"And this is...?"
“This is the lawyer Ye I mentioned to you last time,” Gu Mang interrupted, “who specializes in providing legal aid to prisoners in jail.”
Ye Chen's eyes widened, and he roared inwardly, "When did I, a dignified lawyer, become the confidant of the prisoners?"
Jiang Can glanced at him gratefully and nodded in acknowledgment.
"Honey, don't worry, Attorney Ye will find a way to clear your name." He looked at Ye Chen as he spoke, "Right?"
Ye Chen remained silent, chuckled dryly a few times, and nodded vigorously.
"The bail procedures are complete. Let's leave here and find a place to talk slowly."
"Okay, that's fine."
Gu Mang led Jiang Can out, but after a few steps he paused, then bent down and swept her into his arms in a princess carry. Jiang Can rested her face against his strong chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, and felt a surge of emotion, almost wanting to cry.
"Honey... how did you find out about this?" she asked him, sobbing. "It happened so suddenly, and you were in training camp. I thought I wouldn't be able to reach you."
Gu Mang carefully put her into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and gave her a gentle smile.
Ye Chen, acting as the driver, saw this scene in the rearview mirror and inwardly cried for help... Is Huo Zhixing's display of affection endless?
Heaven knows how frantically Master Huo rushed onto the plane after learning of her accident.
It's a good thing that Master Huo can't fly a plane, otherwise he would have broken the record for the highest human flight speed!
"Oh, actually the police contacted me, not Gu Mang." Seeing that he didn't know how to answer, Ye Chen smoothed things over for him. "When we were handling your family's real estate lawsuit, I was your lawyer, and I was registered with the police. So, whether it's you or Gu Mang, if anything happens, the police will contact me first, and then I'll find Gu Mang."
"I see." Jiang Can nodded slightly. "Attorney Ye, I'm so sorry to have caused you so much trouble."
"Heh, it's okay. Being a lawyer is about helping people solve problems, otherwise you'd be unemployed, right?"
Gu Mang coughed loudly, and Ye Chen quickly shut up and focused on driving.
“Honey,” Jiang Can told him in a very soft voice, “I didn’t say anything except that I denied doing it. When they pressed me for details, they brought you into it too, saying that I should think about you and confess quickly.”
"how do you say?"
"I will remain silent." The young woman looked haggard, but the unwavering determination in her eyes was still clearly visible.
Gu Mang's heart skipped a beat. He gently stroked her hair with his large hand, feeling even more tenderness towards her.
If it were any other woman, she would probably be terrified after being scolded by the interrogators and would spill everything, no matter what.
Beneath Jiang Can's gentle exterior lies a stubborn soul; she will never admit to something she didn't do, even with a knife to her throat.
Gu Mang smiled slightly; in this respect, he was just like him.
It just goes to show that people who aren't family don't enter the same door.
"Yes, you did a good job," Ye Chen praised. "Before the situation is determined, the less the parties involved say, the better. Leaving the rest to the lawyers will save a lot of trouble!"
Jiang Can leaned on Gu Mang's shoulder. The car was a bit bumpy, and after being locked in the interrogation room for a day and a night, she was under a lot of tension. Once she relaxed, she felt sleepy and quickly fell asleep.
Gu Mang patted Ye Chen in front of him, signaling him to drive more steadily, and then hugged the little woman tightly in his arms.
All the way home, Jiang Can didn't open her eyes. Gu Mang carried her into the house, placed her on the big bed in the bedroom, gently took off her clothes, covered her with a blanket, looked around to make sure she was safe, and then slowly backed out.
Ye Chen sat on the living room sofa and let out a long sigh.
"Boss," he said, half-laughing and half-crying, "I've been so careful coming to your house, I didn't dare breathe too loudly, afraid of disturbing your little wife's sweet dreams..."
Gu Mang immediately put on a cold and serious expression, sat down on the sofa, and stared at him with his deep eyes.
"What should we do about this case? Tell us quickly!"
"The best solution is to have Jiang Can compensate the company for its losses and minimize the damage."
Gu Mang's eyes narrowed, and he glared at him angrily for his lack of ambition.
"And you call yourself a top lawyer? You spent ages coming up with such a terrible idea!"
“Third Brother,” Ye Chen said helplessly, “If Jiang Can really causes trouble with the company, it won’t do her any good. Although Hongzhang Trading Company isn’t large, it’s still a medium-sized organization with a certain status in Jiangzhou. If this gets out, and Jiang Can is accused of leaking company secrets, no company will want her in the future!”
"Even if the law clears her name, the energy and time spent on the lawsuit are irrecoverable! How will other employers view her when she applies for jobs in the future? Have you thought about any of this?"
"Third Brother," Ye Chen patted his shoulder, "Just consider it a lesson she learned, and she should be more careful to avoid being schemed against in the future!"
"Heh," Gu Mang snorted, "If someone really wants to scheme against her, all her precautions will be useless!"
"So what you mean is..."
Gu Mang lit a cigarette and took two deep drags.
He was wary of Huo Zhanhe back in the Huo family, wasn't he wary enough? In the end, he almost died at Huo Zhanhe's hands.
He will never let his woman suffer the same losses and hardships he has endured!
"In short, Jiang Can of our family will not take the blame for this!" the man said firmly.
"Not only do you want to clear my wife's name, but you also want the person who started this to get out of Jiangzhou forever!"
